My DIY Balcony Privacy Screen ✨

My DIY privacy screen for my balcony (or could be used as a patio privacy screen). This balcony diy was pretty easy and adds a touch of privacy plus just looks way better.

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to close the gaps with the wood?

Grow some nasturtiums tomatoes spinach peppers etc around the railing.I wish I had a balcony.

looks great. You may want to grab a bag of clear zip ties. They're cheap and so useful.

Lol looks so funny using those tiny pieces of sandpaper that are supposed to go on a certain sander. :) lol.
Had a painting company for years. And For anyone doing a project where you will be sanding without a sander, the most comfortable with the most control and speed are the blocks that look like a sponge covered in sandpaper. You will find most professional painters etc use them (they’ll use the larger sheets to attach to a device with an extension pole to sand the whole wall before painting, most will sand the walls lightly between coats as well to catch any debris that landed on the paint before drying, just in case you’d loose any sleep not knowing that 🤭🤪)

hmmm...i would go higher and turn slats at an angle kind of like horizontal blinds that are stationary. good job though, turned out nice and lights are always a great touch!

FYI: zip ties will wear out within the first year. Because of the weather. Don't let them just sit there until they rot and wood falls on whoever's underneath it.

Plants 🪴 🌿 🪴 🌿 give it a lovely zen look, too. artificial ivy screens. Look neat, too. I dig that it's a lady doing some diy building. My hubby doesn't use tools but I do and make all the repairs needed anywhere 😂 I love it!

Love the concept! Just wondering how it provides privacy. I'm guessing the angel of the video doesn't give us the full view (sometimes this don't transfer well to video or picture)?

[syldadyl]

just go to habitat and find an old piece of fence $10, 2 cans of spray paint or sealer >$10.
$20 and finished in a hour

You could also use an sheer outdoor material as a curtain. Mount them on both sides along with a long dowel at the top so you can close it!!! It is an option. Options are always nice!!!

For anyone who wants a cheaper version cause wood is pricy just use pallets

[JUDALATION]

MAM...Lowes and home depot sell fences for 35 dollars...that wood you bought is at least 40 bucks...

[SirenadelmarTarot]

You made it more aesthetic pleasing!!! Love it 🩷

I use Scarlett runner beans in pots to create pretty vines along my railings. They grow fast and can take a bit of neglect. I gather the seed pods and reuse the seeds again so I only had to buy one pack of seeds. I kinda like the routine too ❤ My own perpetual flower vines. Technically you can eat the beans too but I never have 😂

[Martha-fjvz]

Love that she does all of this in a sundress!! 🎉

[irenesozanski]

Recycle pallets could of help your efforts also!! Good job!

It's cool that your apartment complex doesn't give you a hard time about adding a temporary adjustment to your patio. I don't know why they would since it's not a permanent change and it's no different than adding those screens.

[kristensawdust]

Anyone criticizing or making fun of any of these materials or how these makers chose to use them. You aren't helpful, you're ignorant. Taking a piece of someone else's joy in working with their hands and solving a problem.

[clarissecarrington]

Beautiful outcome! I also love how lenient your apartment complex is. I worked for different property managements and they were all super super strict about external modifications (even temporary)
